Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween! Booooooooooooooo!

Do you like my brownie cupcakes in skull wrappers?  So cute huh!

Birthday fun day!

We celebrated Tom's mother's birthday today! She has the privilege of having her birthday on Halloween!

I volunteered to get a cake so I could go to Aki's Bakery! I love love their Guava cake but my second favorite is the burnt almond!

I chose the burnt almond flavor today but I got a guava cake parfait for myself! Well also my brother had never tried their cakes so it was a nice sampler for him too! SO GOOD!

Happy Halloween!!

Tom had a Halloween get together so everyone could show off their costumes! It was fun to see everyone dressed up and I must admit, we had a lot of cool costumes! I think Tom and I's were the best though! hahah! I love Halloween...well I love all holidays! haha!

Best Whole Foods Friday deal ever!

I always look forward to the Friday Whole Foods deal and this one was super awesome! 20% off all beer! As much as you want! Woohoo!

Halloween costume prep!

Started putting together my Halloween costume! Can you guess what I'm going to be?

It's always so fun to have homemade costumes!

Pumpkin Carving!

Tom and I carved pumpkins with his nephews today! It was so much fun! The worst part of carving pumpkins is getting all the seeds and gunk out! Actually the second worst is how tired your hand gets using those plastic carving tools! haha!

But the end result is so worth all the pain and effort! Aren't our pumpkins so cute? Yay!

Halloween Treats!

The Halloween eating has begun! Got a box of the Halloween Trader Joe Joe's! So yummy and so cute!

I heart Mac & Cheese!

Made mac and cheese for dinner today! One of my favorite dishes! So good and cheesy! This isn't the healthiest but everything in moderation! haha!

Woofstock!

Took Jacoby and Gio to the Mountain Winery in Saratoga for Woofstock!

My 2 favorite things...dogs and wine! It was so much fun and what a wonderful day! Tom and I want Jacoby and Gio to spend more time together so this was the perfect event!

Couch Potato

Didn't do much today! A lazy Saturday of hanging out and watching tv!

Watched a Chopped marathon on Food Network! Such a great show!

Homebody!

Today Tom came over and we had dinner thanks to my mom! She made us Korean BBQ! After dinner we just caught up on DVR.

I totally forgot to take a picture of the dinner so here's a picture of Jacoby! Can't have too many of them! haha!

Angry Birds!

I think I got Tom addicted to Angry Birds! haha!

We made dinner and sat around on the couch. He played Angry Birds while I watched (I suck at the game)!  I think he wants the iphone just for the game!

(I also just learned how to do a screen capture on the iphone! Woohoo!)

Look who went to the groomers!

Gio went to the doggie spa today! Isn't he so precious with his bandanna? He did however try and rip it off as soon as he got into the car! Apparently he's not a fan! haha!

Jacoby's ready for Halloween!

Jacoby must know Halloween is just around the corner because he's obsessed with his pumpkin toy!

Also I'm loving using Instagram to upload pics! It's fun to add different color lenses!

Wedding location hunt continues!

Tom and I went to check out another wedding location! This time in Treasure Island in SF! By far this one was our favorite! We both got a good vibe from the place and it was definitely unique! It's an old airplane hangar that is now a small winery! Definitely industrial and modern! So now we wait for the proposal!

Yummy Tapas!

I went to pick up Tom from the Oakland airport today so we went to Barlata for lunch since we were in the area. It was my first time there and I can't wait to go back already! The tapas were really good and I love the vibe of the place!

Why do I always regret going to Yardhouse?

So as you can imagine I went to Yardhouse! Haha! Everytime I go there, I always regret it. I can't believe there is still an over hour wait to get a table! By the time Nick and I sat down, we were starving so we had to order the onion ring tower! One of my favorites!

Some other friends came and met up with us and we had a fun time catching up and drinking good beer!

Afterwards, a few of us kept the party going at V Bar! It was good to see everyone!

Happy iPhone Day!

I finally took the plunge and got the iphone! I was always team Blackberry but after having problems with it, I switched teams! And I don't regret it at all! Yay!

It's so pretty! Yay!

I heart Carmel!

Went to visit a venue for the wedding in beautiful Carmel! The weather was amazing there today! We got there early and walked around downtown Carmel. Tom and I both liked this place so if we can work on some of the details then I think we're close!

Pizza time!

Tom and I made our own pizzas today! We made a BLT pizza that had tomato sauce (made from scratch!), yummy bacon, creamy mozzarella, and arugula (to act as the fancy lettuce). It was super good!

The first pizza was so good, we made a cheese pizza next! We should open a pizzeria! haha!

Must find a wedding location!

I spent the day googling wedding locations! There are just so many choices, it's becoming overwhelming!

I think I've looked everywhere and have narrowed it down to a couple of places.

By the end of the wedding, I will become a wedding expert! haha!

Columbus Day!

Had the day off from work today! It was a great day to lay around on the couch and spend time with my Jacoby! Tom also came over to watch MNF! Fun lazy day on the couch!

 

Yellowcard!

Went up to SF to try and catch some of the Blue Angels festivities with Debbie and Kat but ended up at a house party! Haha!

Then we met up with Jackie and went to Slims for YELLOWCARD! Totally re-lived our college years! We had actually seen them at Slims like 8 years ago! I wish they played more old songs but still had a blast!

Busy busy Saturday!

Today was a busy day! Went up to Half Moon Bay to look at a wedding site with our mothers. We're getting closer to finding a venue!

Then I met up with Kat to go to Costco. She needed my help to get food for her camping trip! I had never gotten so much food at Costco before!

This wasn't even all of it! We then needed to reward ourselves so we drank a wine and prosecco! After that we had an adventure in Cupertino! haha!

Happy Friday (and my 200th post)!

Spent my Friday babysitting Gio while Tom went to SF to enjoy the Whiskey Fest!

I read magazines while Gio napped! haha!

The Yankees Lose!

                     Teehee!

I love baseball!

Finally watched Moneyball! The movie was really good and just validated why I love the game of baseball so much! Brad Pitt actually played Billy Beane very well! I definitely need to re-read the book. To be honest, I never really finished it and skipped parts of it! haha!

Wedding Location Hunting!

Went to visit a possible wedding location today! It's a B&B in Half Moon Bay and absolutely adorable! So many flowers and so close to the beach and to the downtown area. We will definitely take our mothers to view the location to see if they love it as well!

Since we were in Half Moon Bay we had to go to Sam's Chowder House for clam chowder and some oysters! It's just a couple of miles down the road! Woohoo!

Who doesn't love birthdays?

Today was Tom's nephew's 7th birthday! He actually had a whole weekend birthday extravaganza! Lucky kid!

I bought him a Berenstain Bears Halloween book and Tom bought him a Star Wars Lego set!

We had a nice dinner at Tom's parents house along with individual sized ice cream cakes for everyone!

Then we played a game of Disney Apples to Apples! I love how that game brings out the competitiveness out of everyone! Even the kids!

We did it!

Today was the day of our big race! The Bridge to Bridge 12k! I admit when the race started I was nervous I wouldn't finish but I did! And my time wasn't too bad! I finished the race in 1:34:34 which was 1,946 out of 2,242 overall! So I wasn't last! Woohoo! haha!

Tom finished the race in 1:01:14 which was 304 out of 2,242 overall! Wow!

Go Quakes!

Went with Tom to the Quakes game. Got this free backpack which I think is perfect for the race tomorrow!

We had to make sure not to drink too much either which is always hard at sporting events! Haha!
